And it was announced today
 
Small note, but they're going to have a season-ending awards show on TNT as apart of the deal. 
 
Some D-League and summer league games will be on ESPN
 
I think I read some where TNT is going to televise games on another day of the week as well 
 
Players attempting to end max contract caps 
 
Lockout will happen

I would agree
 
Salary cap is expected to rise significantly too.

Interesting question. How much of that 24 billion is LeBron worth to the NBA when you consider national TV appearances, amount of coverage specifically towards him, General public notoriety?

Or let's say Kobe
